I had this problem when I was in school. One thing you MIST do when taking Adderall is plan your time accordingly. I used egg timers just to snap me out of one thing and create a transition to something else.

Yeah, but if you don't actually have it, it almost causes the opposite effect. I'm prescribed Focalin, and when I take it I get this little half hour rush of excitement and then I'm pretty much focused and on-task the rest of the day, whereas without it I'm insanely unproductive.

But if I take 2 or 3, then I am off-the-wall crazy. Most people take Adderall but Focalin is more effective for me, both as a medicine and as a recreational drug.

In art school I took an Adderall before my drawing class class. It was October and we had been drawing a huge pile of pumpkins in charcoal. I took one look at my drawing that I had worked a week on, ripped it up and started all over with the drawing due that afternoon. The teacher jumped up and ran over freaking out. I then spent the next three hours furiously drawing and filling up a 3'6'x4' page with pumpkins and squash that made my previous work look like it was done by a retarded ocelot while on opiates. I had this teacher for a few other classes before graduation and he eventually got accustomed to my lunacy and just looked the other way when I would start doing something crazy, like the time I showed up for class after taking about half a shit ton of LSD and coming to Drawing II. We had an hour to draw our nude model... next thing I know it's been an hour and all I drew was her ear. Big enough to fill up the entire page. But it was the best damn ear anyone had ever drawn in charcoal.

I don't understand this popular sentiment. I've opened dozens of tv tropes links, said "Oh, huh" about the subject I was linked to, closed the page and gotten on with my day. I'm a tv/movie/pop culture huge nerd, too, I just don't find that the format is as conducive to mindless wandering as wikipedia is.

I shared your sentiment. I shared it for a while. But the more I read TVTropes, the more hooked I got. I slowly grew tolerant of the several shortcomings of the layout and have almost become accustomed to it, and now when I read the tropes, I can read and read and read and read and read. It's kind of sad really. It's a good way to put me to sleep too, for whatever reason.

The important thing to remember is that if you do get put on medication it doesn't make you automatically productive. It's like if your five year old shows no interest in books. You get them evaluated, and find out they need glasses. After they get glasses, they still have to learn to read...

Adderall removes roadblocks to getting things done; you still have to have the mental self-discipline to do the work.

I think my main problem is that when I'm trying to listen to someone, something they say sparks my imagination and I'm off into internal hyperfocus land, and I've pulled myself into another world and forget they are even talking to me. People hate that. My wife sure does.

These are exactly the reasons I continue ADHD treatment. Otherwise my day goes like this: Better take out the trash. Let me just put these last few pieces of trash in the ba-that counter is pretty dirty, better wipe it down with this-shit my sink is dirty, let's get it scrubbed down. Okay done. This sponge smells like crap, better boil it with this pot-ugh my pantry is in in such disorder, time to organize it. I'm low on cereal, I'm going to make a grocery list.

I took Concerta (Ritalin) yesterday, the first time I've ever taken any kind of ADD medication, and all it did was make me drowsy, give me a headache, and make time go by slower, but didn't help me with my concentration/mind racing issues at all. I was really disappointed. Is Adderall better?

I recently went on a few dates with a girl who uses adderall recreationally before going out drinking (yeah, I like to surround myself with responsible people). I took some and I gotta say... it felt pretty damn close to being on a bump or two of not so great cocaine. Couldn't get it up all the way though :( Anyway, yeah... Bradley cooper... what a stud. What were we talking about?

it wasn't HDR, they just bumped up the saturation and some other things to give it that look

HDR is a combined image of different exposures. they would need to film with at least two cameras, which wouldn't have been worth the effort

it would also be difficult to line up both images because the cameras can't be in the same location never mind, the cameras can't be in the same location of course but a beam splitter can be used to send the same light to both cameras (from the description of the video below)

Why does everyone seem to be on adderall on reddit? Is it available over the counter in America or something or are you just able to bullshit your doctor and get him/her to prescribe it for you? Will someone please tell me. The stuff sounds unbelievable and I want it. :(

Adderall is several salts of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. It's similar to methampetamine in that the only difference is that methamphetamine, as the name implies, has an extra methyl group on its alkane chain.

While they're both stimulants, to be saying that amphetamine and methamphetamine are similar in terms of psychoactive and toxicological effects is a dangerous tight rope in the world of chemistry, where a difference in stereochemistry (let alone a difference in bonding chemistry) of a compound can kill you or save your life, for instance. Cis-platin and trans-platin are good examples of this.

European here. ADHD meds are more freely prescribed in the states than over here. The diagnosis process is much less time consuming, also.
It's effects are not unbelievable, but yes some of your abilities will improve for a limited amount of time. That does not imply that the user will achieve greater results, and there are adverse effects that in my opinion do not make up for the benefit in healthy people.
At my college people that use Adderall are those that also frequently drink, smoke pot and procrastinate; and end up with worse results compared to those that exercise, eat healthy, sleep regularly, and follow a study schedule.
That said I'll be the first one to celebrate on the day a perfect nootropic comes out, but Adderall isn't it unfortunately.
You can get it online.

As someone who legitimately has ADD, and I suspect this is true of most who do, we use it so we can set up and follow a normal, productive study schedule. I can't say that for the douchebags who buy it off a friend then snort it the night before an exam, though.

I have a prescription but honestly still feel like I'm abusing it somehow. Everyone assumes ADD = ADHD and that you need to be hyperactive all the time. It comes in the "inattentive" flavor too, which is usually what happens as you get older. The best way I can describe it is that feeling you get on a lazy Sunday when you wake up at 2 and can't bring yourself to do anything productive...except that feeling is ALL THE TIME. I totally get the stimulant effect still, but it's the only time I can ever force myself to do work...

Same here. People who claim it's just a 'high' and still are distracted by stuff like facebook/reddit clearly don't actually have ADHD. When I'm on it, it makes me always aware of what I need to be doing, not just hyper-focused on a single activity.

It really bugs me that so many people that don't actually have ADHD and that just use these drugs for their highs make the disease look illegitimate when it really is a serious disorder.

I do want to say that Adderall XR has completely changed my life for the better. I know it gets a bad rap for being a social drug or whatever, but...wow. If this is "normal" people feel all the time, I wasted the better part of the first 29.75 years of my life.

God forbid some menial task enters my LoS when I take it though. 6 hours later, I'm dusting the plants in my house to glistening perfection.

But if you'd actually listened to the previews, you'd have heard what the line actually was, which was "they say we only use 20% of our brain". They never said "we only use 20% of our brain", they referred to the common myth.

I chalked it up to overmedicating himself and the euphoria of learning things. Even smart people can forget about things they consider trivial, like paying the electric bill while they're in the basement building a particle accelerator... and then the lights go out. In the movie, his lights almost went out permanently.

By the way, the book this is based on... does not end as well as the movie.

His decisions were ridiculous by and large, and his entire trading skill set seemed to be based on mystic "algorithms!".
Felt like the essential problem with this film was trying to write a character who was smarter than the writer.

No he abandoned writing because after he finished the book and started to realize what NZT did he figured out "holy fuck i would be wasting my time writing when i could be making millions in a matter of days trading stock and investing".

"Oh yeah I figured it out and don't need the drug anymore" ... without any explanation. A bad example of Deus ex machina, suddenly there is no crisis as he "figured it out". Really dumb.

Also why:

1.) Didn't he pay back the loan shark right away?
2.) Didn't he use his knowledge to deduce who made the drug and find out how to get more
3.) Didn't he try to recreate the drug immediately instead of later in the movie?
4.) Why does he ask some lab to recreate it when he could have learned how to do it himself faster and just do it himself.
5.) Why didn't anyone else on the drug figure out what he did a long time ago?

I saw him give the drug to a scientists to find out what was in it, but I don't remember him telling them to take the drug. Wouldn't that create an issue where the scientist decided to keep it for themselves? The more people addicted to the limited supply of drugs the worse off he will be.

That makes sense if the scientists cooperated with him though. Still it was a cop-out ending. They don't actually show any progress being made in that respect, it looks like he is going to fail or be killed then the next scene cut to the future "oh yeah I figured it out". I think they wanted a happy ending and just wrote that in when a sad ending would have made more sense with the apparent theme of the movie.

Why do you like Vyvanse better? I only ask because I'm likely going to be getting prescribed adderall xr or Vyvanse. Not sure which to go with, I've had adderall IR in the past which worked well but caused me to sweat like crazy..

Vyvanse lasts a lot longer, and comes on a lot more gradually. when I go to sleep after taking it 12-14 hours prior, I can only sleep for 3-6 hours, after that I'm tired but can't sleep and feel like shit. forced to wait it out and sleep later in the day. it completely fucks my sleeping schedule.
